Conference Sponsor Profile: National Energy Technology Laboratory
Natural gas, oil, and coal-based power production has driven and will continue to be integral to America's technological and economic success. To make fossil fuel power production more efficient and environmentally benign, future power plants will incorporate a host of advanced technologies, many of which are researched and funded through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). Located in Pittsburgh and Morgantown, NETL is a multi-purpose laboratory, owned and operated by the Department of Energy (DOE). NETL conducts and implements science and technology development programs for DOE in energy and energy-related environmental systems.
NETL's research and development activities are conducted on- and off-site through partnerships, cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs), grants, and contractual arrangements. NETL partners with industry, universities, other national and federal laboratories, private research organizations, and other federal and state agencies. The nearly 900 research, development, and demonstration projects in NETL’s portfolio are conducted at facilities located in all 50 states and in several foreign countries.
Currently, NETL is responsible for implementing coal, oil, and gas programs for the Office of Fossil Energy (FE). For almost 11 years, NETL has implemented environmental remediation technologies for DOE’s Office of Environmental Management and has provided support for DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, particularly in program activities that are complementary to FE programs. NETL also provides services for other federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Defense, state groups including the California Energy Commission and the Pennsylvania Coal Caucus, and Native American organizations. A part of NETL, the National Petroleum Technology Office is responsible for implementing DOE’s petroleum programs.
